The federal government is preparing to begin automatically registering eligible U.S. men ages 18 to 26 for the military draft pool, according to new rules that were tucked into the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act.

In the Minneapolis neighborhood where Renee Good was killed, tensions were running high between residents and federal immigration agents. Then came what one former DOJ official later called "use of excessive force after use of excessive force." https://to.pbs.org/4cJ7l2u

One thing I've been thinking about is that even a small scale nuclear war would probably be enough to trigger nuclear winter, leading to billions of deaths. The use of nuclear weapons shouldn't be considered just a crime against its target; it should be considered a crime against the entire world.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

I can’t see this working. Trump voters are watching media, like Fox, that will do everything to convince their audience that the democratic candidate is even crazier and worse for the country than the republican. It didn’t work for Harris, and I don’t see it working for Slotkin.

We need a more substantial United Nations. One that can resolve conflicts without leading to war. We also need to change positions of power so they comprise of a representative group of people and not single individuals in winner-take-all contests.

When the Trump administration and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele reached an agreement to imprison U.S. deportees at CECOT, what did Bukele stand to gain? A new documentary from FRONTLINE and El Faro investigates. Watch the opening scene now. https://to.pbs.org/4bXrcux

Threatening genocide is completely beyond the pale. I am appalled that congress has not put a stop to this.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

‼️ICAN condemns another US/Israel attack on the Beshehr nuclear power plant - such attacks are reckless and explicitly banned under international law - as our ED @melissaparke01.bsky.social , has said this aggression has to stop before there is a nuclear disaster. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/...

Trump is proof that the presidency is too much power for one person. Is there any chance we could abolish the presidency and replace it with an executive council? I suppose not, but I can dream.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power. It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

🗣️Can you believe global spending on nuclear weapons surged to over $100 billion in a year alone? That’s $3,169 a second on weapons that should never be used. Learn more in ICAN’s report "Hidden Costs: Nuclear Weapons Spending in 2024": www.icanw.org/hidden_costs... #NuclearBan

Three major new studies on democracy and freedom all find the U.S. is slipping further away from democracy. Leaders of two of those studies say President Trump's goal is to rule as an autocrat.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year. Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants. They are good for society and the economy.

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion. After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them. Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending. But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to. Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.
